Hello all this is the build of my mk4 golf. After having 2 fiesta toying with the idea of getting a polo or a lupo, i went for some a bit different and bought a mk4 golf 1.6 16v instead.
Spec: completely standard November 2013
5 Doors, Manual, Hatchback, Petrol, 100,000 miles, Beige, Petrol, Manual, Service indicator, Drivers airbag, Full size spare wheel, Body coloured bumpers, Heated door mirrors, Trip computer. Air Con, Remote Central Locking, 2 Keys, Full Service History, Electric Windows, Pas, Abs, Mot, Good Condition Throughout
MOT till 20th November 2013
TAx till 15th October 2014
so im spending the next few days going over the car checking everything to make sure it passes it Mot next month,
also while i cleaning the interior i found over 7 pounds of loose change so that going towards the new mod.
Here are a few pictures of boris the day i got him home,

as you can see I've started to make it my own with the Status Error sticker.
and here is a rough spec on what I to do,
Rota Force silver 18x8.5 front ET48 15mm hub centric spacer 18x9.0 rear ET35
upgrade the exhaust, but i'm keeping it hindon
Full recaro interior with a full re-trim in mind
25th anniversary body kit for a 5 door
powerflex bushes all round
uprated anti roll bar and drop links.
So around february 2014 time i started buying bits for the car, i bought a second hand set of v-maxx coilovers and drop link's picking them up saturday, as well as that i've bought some HID. also i've had the dog bone mount changed and front lower control arms for some polyurethane one's made a huge difference to the car. also a few picture of the coilovers
also a quick test fit of the wheels
wheels are being repainted in silver or gunmetal undiced at the moment.
on another note i changed my mind again about my boot build and it end up like this still working on it though so its not done as of yet
will all be wrapped in black suede before it finished,that's all for the time being.
Around april 2014
plans change on the wheel side of things again Small ish update the wheels are on, yes its a little monster truck looking at the moment but it will be sorted soon.
While i'm on the subject of wheels, i was told they were 9.5 x18 when in fact they 8.0 x18 so im now running 20mm spacers up front and 25mm at the rear.
Front wheels/tyres setup
225/40/18
18x8
20mm hubcentric spacer
Rear wheel/tyre setup
255/35/18 (came with the wheels)
18x8
25mm hubcentric spacer
On another note i retrimed (Myself) the top half of my interior in purple just to be a bit different, some people may like some may not.
quick interior shot to get the idea
that's all for now there is still more updates to come c+c welcome
thanks Connor
